Leadership Now, And Always
Since its inception, Mobil Delvac has been a recognized
leader in heavy-duty lubricant specialization. For more than
80 years, it has been a respected name in the field in helping
to extend the life of heavy-duty equipment. Although Mobil
Delvac officially came to market in 1925, its technology
was being researched and developed well before that.
As early as 1913, we were already holding equipment builder meetings
and forming the alliances that are so important in the creation and ongoing
refinement of Mobil Delvac technology. Over the years this has led to
current Mobil Delvac technology obtaining over 2,000 builder approvals
and endorsements from more than 300 different Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs).
Mobil Delvac technology was developed to help extend the life of
heavy-duty engines. With more than 80 years of collaborative efforts
with OEMs, rigorous testing and millions of dollars invested in research,
that goal not only remains the same, but is also achieved successfully year
after year as we continue to conduct collaborative research with equipment
builders to assess lubricant needs and ensure warranty protection.
The engineers and formulations scientists at our prestigious global
research facility in Paulsboro, New Jersey, work exhaustively to create
lubricants that deliver high performance and long equipment life. Our
1 promise to you is this: Mobil Delvac engine oils will always be ready
to meet the changing industry landscape and will continue to lead the
2 way with remarkable depth of expertise and strong tradition of innovation.
3 We proudly point to our numerous equipment
builder endorsements and end-customer
testimonials as more reasons why you can have

supreme confidence in Mobil Delvac technology.

 The Challenge:
New 2007 On-Highway Engine
Emission Standards

U.S. On-highway Emissions Standards

The Bar Has Been Raised...Again
So, what actually happens in 2007? The primary focus of
emissions standards has been Nitrous Oxide (NOx) and
Particulate Matter (PM) for more than a decade. While limits
exist on other emissions components, such as carbon monoxide
(CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), the reality is that engines actually
emit levels of these components that are many times lower
than the EPA limit. NOx and PM, however, are usually the
components where equipment performance and emission levels
are right at the EPA limits and the EPA has mandated that
all model-year 2007 on-highway diesel engines must meet the
following reductions in exhaust emissions:

Diesel Particulate Filter ■ PM - 0.01 g/HP-hr (90% reduction from the previous limit)
■ NOx - 1.2 g/HP-hr (50% reduction from the previous limit)

As clearly illustrated in the emissions graph, these new reductions

are quite dramatic in comparison to previous years which, in
turn, represents a significant challenge not only to engine
builders, but lubricant and fuels manufacturers as well.

How will that reduction be accomplished? To meet the new

emissions requirements mandated by the EPA, model year 2007

The Solution:
Our Proprietary Recipe
for Long Engine Life

Mobil Delvac 1300 Super

Delivering exceptional performance through patented technology.
Once again, we have tapped into the strength of Mobil Delvac's unique technology with patented Trimer
componentry. Delivering performance beyond the boundaries of industry requirements of
API CJ-4, this quantum leap formulation advancement also brings:

■ Strong chemical structure to enable long engine life

■ Outstanding wear protection advantages

■ Effective oxidation resistance, even under severe conditions

■ Improved frictional properties

Trimer core

Delivering unique performance through a mixed detergent system.

Detergents in engine oils are mainly comprised of two parts - the "base," also known as TBN (Total Base
Number), which neutralizes acids to protect against corrosion, and the “soap,” which cleans engine
surfaces just like a hand soap cleans the skin. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super’s mixed detergent system allows
for more soap to protect against deposit formation. Combining the optimized detergent system with an
overall balanced formula not only allows for a higher starting TBN to protect against acid attack and
corrosion, but one that is maintained throughout the drain.

And Again Mobil Delvac 1300 Super Goes Above and Beyond
We have once again pushed Mobil Delvac 1300 Super's capability beyond expectations. Consistent with
Mobil Delvac's reputation as a leader in technology, Mobil Delvac 1300 Super has been formulated to exceed
industry benchmarks AND provide cutting-edge performance in both new and old engines.

Superior Soot Handling Capabilities

Mobil Delvac 1300 Super shows outstanding performance in the ability to handle soot, clearly performing better
than oils in previous API categories. Moreover, Mobil Delvac 1300 Super is clearly superior to an API CJ-4 market
general product. In fact, Mobil Delvac 1300 Super had over 50% LESS soot-induced oil thickening than any other
oils that were measured at the 6.7% soot test limit in the severe Mack T-11 test.

Outstanding Resistance to Oil Degradation and Deposits
An oil’s ability to resist degradation can be seen in two areas. The first is its ability to resist thickening and oxidation at high
temperatures. The second is its ability to resist deposit formation. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super excels in both of these areas.
Piston deposits result in increased oil consumption, and Mobil Delvac 1300 Super significantly reduced oil consumption
by more than 75% compared to the industry limits of the Cat C13 Test. In the Sequence IIIF high temperature oxidation
test, Mobil Devac 1300 Super thickened less than half of both API CI-4 PLUS and market general API CJ-4 oils.

TBN Retention in the Field
One of the biggest concerns with API CJ-4 oils is their lower starting TBN in comparison
to the starting TBNs of API CI-4 and CI-4 PLUS oils. However, field test results revealed
that Mobil Delvac 1300 Super provided improved TBN retention compared to API CI-4
and CI-4 PLUS oils. The fact that the TBN curve for Mobil Delvac 1300 Super (black line as
shown on the graphs below) is flatter validates its ability to not only provide outstanding
equipment protection, but also to continue to extend drain intervals.

Maintains Viscosity in the Field

Mobil Delvac 1300 Super not only resisted thickening associated with high
soot loads in EGR engines where end-of-drain soot levels exceeded 5%, but also
resisted breakdown through its outstanding shear stability in Caterpillar
engines. Caterpillar engines do not generate much soot, but have a tendency to
rip apart (or "shear") the oil due to their high pressure injection system.

Advanced technology for long engine life

Although new low-emission engines with aftertreament devices (DPFs) will become increasingly common, EGR
engines without aftertreatment devices and even older conventional engines will continue to exist on America's
highways, construction sites and quarries for some time to come. That's why our commitment to performance looks
ahead, but leaves no one behind. Backed up by more than 8 million miles of field test research, we are confident
that Mobil Delvac 1300 Super will provide extended engine life benefits when compared to API CI-4 PLUS oils for
both new and older engines.

■ Exceeds API CJ-4 requirements making it the product of choice for DPF equipped 2007 engines
■ Exceeds API CI-4 PLUS, CI-4 and CH-4 requirements making it backwards compatible for use in older engines
■ Meets the requirements of API SM and SL making it ideal for customers with both new and old gasoline engines
■ Outperforms API CI-4 PLUS oils by...
- Over 50% better soot-viscosity control for more efficient operation, long engine life and long oil life.
- Over 20% better abrasive and corrosive wear protection for long engine life and sustained engine efficiency.
- Over 75% better oil consumption control requiring less make-up oil during operation (reduced oil costs).
- Over 50% better oxidative resistance for less oil thickening and greater resistance to thermal breakdown.
■ Outstanding TBN Retention for sustained drain intervals in both 2007 and pre-2007 on-highway engines
regardless of fuel sulfur content
■ Outstanding TBN Retention for sustained drain intervals in off-highway engines when using either Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel fuel (15 ppm sulfur content) or Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (500 ppm sulfur content)
■ Exceptional deposit control for less wear, sustained engine power and efficiency, and less oil consumption

Altogether, these qualities add up to enhanced performance, long engine life, and low total maintenance costs.
